3 Overview The XCG-V60E/XCG-SX97E/XCG-U100E/ XCG-5005E is a monochrome digital video camera module that supports 1000BASE-T interface. Features GigE Vision-compliant Conforming to GigE Vision version 1.0 standards, this unit is capable of transmitting uncompressed images at high efficiency. High image quality Progressive-scan CCD produces high-precision, highspeed images. The XCG-V60E equips a 330,000-pixel CCD that enables image output at 90 frames per second. The XCG-SX97E equips a 1,450,000-pixel CCD that enables image output at 16 frames per second. The XCG-U100E equips a 2,000,000-pixel CCD that enables image output at 15 frames per second. The XCG-5005E equips a 5,000,000-pixel CCD that enables image output at 15 frames per second. By adopting square pixels, images can be processed using the original aspect ratio without a converting procedure. Partial scan The camera module can limit the number of effective video output lines to achieve high frame rates, enabling high-speed image processing. Frame rate control You can change the frame rate while maintaining the shutter setting. This is useful when you want to reduce packet sizes per time by lowering the frame rate and reduce network traffic. Note Normal connection between the camera and the host system may not be established if the camera is turned on before system initialization is complete on the host device. Wait for completion of host device system initialization before turning on the camera. Overview Body fixing The screw holes to install the camera module are located under the front panel (the CCD reference plane). Installing the camera module on the front panel minimizes deviation of the optical axis. Various mode settings The following mode settings can be configured via controls from the host device. Gain Read mode: Normal/Binning Partial scan Shutter: Normal/Trigger shutter Shutter speed Gamma Switching an output Bit Length Binarization External trigger shutter function (2 to 1/100,000 sec.) You can obtain still images by synchronizing with external trigger signals and operating the shutter at your own timing. This function is useful to shoot a fastmoving object clearly. 3

4 Overview Notes on Operation Power supply You can supply power via the DC IN connector using the power adapter. Use DC-700/700CE which is the stable power source free from ripple or noise. Locations for operation and storage Avoid operation or storage in the following places. Extremely hot or cold locations. Recommended temperature range for operation is 0 to 40 C (32 to 104 F). Locations subject to strong vibration or shock. Near generators of strong electromagnetic radiation such as TV or radio transmitters. Care Use a blower to remove dust from the surface of the lens or optical filter. Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. If the camera is very grimy, apply a cloth soaked in a mild detergent then wipe with a dry cloth. Do not apply organic solvents such as alcohol or benzine which may damage the finish. Note on laser beams Laser beams may damage a CCD. You are cautioned that the surface of a CCD should not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an environment where a laser beam device is used. Typical CCD Phenomena The following effects on the monitor screen are characteristic of CCD cameras. They do not indicate any fault with the camera module. Smear This occurs when shooting a very bright object such as electric lighting, the sun, or a strong reflection. This phenomenon is caused by an electric charge induced by infrared radiation deep in the photosensor. It appears as a vertical smear, since the CCD imaging element uses an interline transfer system. Vertical aliasing When you shoot vertical stripes or lines, they may appear jagged. Blemishes A CCD image sensor consists of an array of individual sensor elements (pixels). A malfunctioning sensor element will cause a single pixel blemish in the picture. (This is generally not a problem.) White speckles While CCD image pickup device is made by an accurate technique, imperceptible speckless may rarely come up on the screen due to cosmic rays and so on. This is connected to the principle of CCD image pickup device, not a malfunction. And the white speckless are easy to come up in the following conditions. Using the camera in high temperature When turning up the gain Blooming This is a phenomenon in which the light from very bright objects appears to overflow into neighboring areas in an image. Note If strong light enters a wide area of the screen, the screen may become dark. This is not a malfunction. If this occurs, avoid strong light or adjust the lens iris to reduce the light amount. 4

5 System Components The Camera Module system comprises the following optional products (sold separately from the Camera Module).

10 Functions Camera Drive System The camera drive system functions as follows. Functions 10

11 Triggering The camera can be triggered by hardware or software triggering events. Special Trigger Modes The three special trigger modes are Normal, Bulk and Sequential triggering. Hardware Triggering Hardware triggering is performed by applying a signal to an input on the 12-pin connector. Exposure occurs according to the predetermined timing of the trigger signal, which serves as the drive signal for acquiring video images. An image is acquired whenever the drive signal is valid. This function is used for shooting simultaneous video with multiple cameras. Software Triggering Software triggering is performed by an internal drive signal generated within the camera in response to network commands. Exposure occurs according to this trigger signal. This drive signal is useful for triggering when hardware triggering is not suitable. Normal trigger mode The Normal mode outputs images continuously according to internal continuous drive. When trigger drive is enabled, the camera is driven by either hardware or software triggering. In this mode, the following two drive methods are available according to the trigger mode: Edge Trigger Mode (exposure begins at the rising edge of trigger pulses with duration based on the shutter settings) or Width Trigger Mode (exposure duration is the same as the duration set for the trigger pulse width). Trigger Edge Trigger Mode (at rising edge) Functions Exposure Trigger Polarity This function selects whether triggering occurs at the rising or falling edge of the trigger signal. Select the trigger polarity before using other trigger functions. Trigger Exposure Width Trigger Mode (at rising edge) Bulk trigger mode Different camera setting configurations are stored in memory channels beforehand, with the different settings applied to acquire multiple video images at each trigger event. In the following diagram, two images are acquired in one cycle. Trigger Exposure Memory Channel 0 settings Memory Channel 1 settings 11

12 Functions Sequential trigger mode Different camera setting configurations are stored in memory channels beforehand, with the different settings applied in sequence to acquire a different image with each trigger event. In the following diagram, two images with different exposure settings are acquired in one cycle. Trigger Exposure Memory Channel 0 settings The camera provides 16 memory channels, so up to 16 setting configurations can be assigned to each cycle. For bulk and sequential trigger modes, the following functions are read from each memory channel. Image parameters Image size (H) offset X Image size (V) offset Y Memory Channel 1 settings Feature parameters Manual Gain (Gain L/R with XCG-5005E) Digital Clamp L/R (XCG-5005E only) Digital ON/OFF (XCG-5005E only) Digital Pedestal Digital Gain Shutter Look-Up Table Binarization Threshold Multi-Function Output Mode Strobe Polarity Strobe Delay Strobe Pulse Width GPO User Memory Notes When using Bulk or Sequential trigger mode, be sure to allow sufficient trigger cycle time. Images are disrupted if the trigger period is shorter than the time required to output a frame. With the XCG-5005E, using Bulk or Sequential trigger mode with different gain values in different memory channels may result in different left and right video levels. In such cases, verify operation before use. When using Bulk or Sequential trigger mode, bear in mind that the following settings are ignored and have no effect. Image Parameters Image Size (H) Image Size (V) Pixel Format Binning Test Chart Auto Gain Detection Frame ON/OFF Auto Gain Detection Frame Area Setting Manual Frame Rate Auto Frame Rate Gamma Curve Coefficient Gamma Curve Reference Level Feature Parameters Auto Clamp ON/OFF (XCG-5005E only) Auto Gain ON/OFF Trigger ON/OFF (ON = fixed trigger drive) Trigger Mode (fixed edge) Trigger Polarity Trigger Inhibit Trigger Delay Software Trigger Pulse Output Trigger Source Select When using the Bulk or Sequential special trigger mode, you must select the trigger type (hardware or software trigger) with the Special Trigger Source Select parameter, and select the polarity with the Special Trigger Polarity parameter. Shutter The camera supports manual shutter control. With Edge triggering, the exposure time can be set from 10 µs to 2 s, in 1 µs units. Trigger Inhibit This function disables the camera s trigger input. When multiple cameras are connected, use this to disable triggering for only specified cameras at specific times. 12

13 Trigger Delay GPO Outputs can be High or Low active. This function applies a trigger delay within the camera. Use it to synchronize trigger timing when the trigger signal is offset from the desired object exposure timing. Setting range is 0 to 4,000,000 µs, in 1 µs units. Trigger Exposure Trigger Delayed Trigger Exposure Output Strobe Control Output GPO Strobe Delay Strobe Width Multi- Function Output Functions Exposure Note To use trigger delay, the input trigger period must be longer than the trigger delay value. Otherwise, images cannot be output properly. Note When using strobe control output, if the strobe delay or strobe width exceeds the exposure interval, proper strobe signals cannot be output. Set the strobe control output so that the delay and width are within the exposure time. Multi-Function Outputs/ GPIs (general-purpose inputs) The multi-function output settings determine the function of the camera s output connector pins for GPO (general-purpose signal output), exposure signal output or strobe control signal output. These signal ports are used to control external devices. GPI ports are also provided for input signals. The camera has two multi-function output ports and one GPI port. Exposure output Signal output is valid during image sensor exposure. You can also configure the polarity. Strobe control outputs Make precise adjustments to strobe control and control for other external devices connected to the camera by controlling the timing and width of signals. You can also configure the polarity. Setting ranges are: Strobe delay: 0 to 4,000 µs (in 1 µs units) Strobe width: 0 to 4,000 µs (in 1 µs units) Gain The camera provides both manual and automatic gain control. Manual gain control Variable gain control in models XCG-V60E/ XCG-SX97E/XCG-U100E can be set from 0 to 18 db in db increments, or from 0 to 502 in db steps. In addition to the above, the XCG-5005E provides independent left and right controls (GainL and GainR). When left and right gain should be the same, set only the left level (GainL). Auto gain control The camera provides the auto gain control function to automatically control image brightness according to a user-specified detection frame and image average level (variable from 0 to in 14 bit). The variable range is the same as for manual gain control. Also, the auto gain control detection frame showing each area s image average level can be displayed and adjusted. The detection frame is defined by Offset X and Y, Width and Height percentage values (relative to the [100%] width and height of the output video image). 13

14 Functions Digital Pedestal The camera provides the digital pedestal function to adjust image black level. In the XCG-V60E/XCG-SX97E/XCG-U100E, the level can be set from 0 to In the XCG-5005E, the level can be set from each camera s lower limit value to Note The digital pedestal setting is a 14-bit value. As such, 1/64 as many setting levels are available during 8-bit output, 1/16 are available during 10-bit output, and 1/4 are available during 12-bit output. Digital Clamp (XCG-5005E only) The XCG-5005E provides the digital clamp function to correct black level difference between left and right images. The digital clamp has the following three modes. Digital Gain The camera provides a digital gain function. Gain values are from 1X to 2X (0 to 64, in X increments). Note When using digital gain, discontinuity may occur in the spacing between output levels. This occurs due to the lack of an image signal output that is equivalent to the output steps. This is not a malfunction. Digital ON/OFF (XCG-5005E only) Use this function to set left-right image black levels independently. Setting range is 0 to 1023 for each. Note The digital clamp L/R setting is a 14-bit value. Therefore, be careful when data is handled otherwise, e.g., as 12-bit output values (giving one quarter as many setting levels). One-Shot Clamp This mode corrects left-right black level difference once upon executing the command. Auto Clamp This mode automatically corrects left-right black level difference. OFF This mode allows you to manually correct left-right black level difference. If the above One-Shot/Auto Clamp modes cannot adequately correct left-right black level difference, user adjustment is available from the OFF mode. Set Digital ON/OFF to OFF, and adjust Clamp L/R values separately, from 0 to Left and right black level is freely user settable. However, in the OFF mode, Digital Pedestal and Digital Gain functions are disabled. User can also set left and right gain separately by GainL and GainR (0 to 502 steps or 0 to 18 db). When setting Clamp L/R and GainL/R separately, set the left side first. Look-Up Table The camera s look-up table consists of 4,096 values, with 12-bit input and output. The look-up table allows setting an arbitrary gamma curve or binarization. Also, a gamma curve coefficient can be specified for the standard black level. For levels below the standard black level, set the gamma value to 1 to prevent burnt-out highlights in the black level. Selectable from 0: Linear 1: Reverse 2: Binarization 3: Gamma Curve Coefficient 4: User Setting. Switching Output Bit Length The camera provides a function to switch image output bit length between 8, 10 and 12 bits. Use it to adjust the relative priority of data quantity to image quality. The pixel formats are Mono8, Mono10 Packed and Mono12 Packed in compliance with GigE Vision 1.0. Test Chart The camera includes a grayscale chart for testing purposes. 14

15 Partial Scan The partial scan function outputs a user-defined region (Area Of Interest) within the overall image area. The cut-out region for partial scan is defined by Offset X and Offset Y (which indicate the start point for cutting), and Width and Height (which indicate the area). Contiguous blocks of minimum areas can be selected to define regions. However, the defined region must be a square or right rectangle. T- and L-shaped regions are invalid. OFFSET X WIDTH OFFSET Y X (Horizontal Direction) Cutting by Partial scan mode Functions HEIGHT Y (Vertical Direction) Minimum area sizes for partial scan are as follows: XCG-V60E 64 pixels 48 lines XCG-SX97E 64 pixels 100 lines XCG-U100E 64 pixels 120 lines XCG-5005E 64 pixels 480 lines Cut-out position settings are specified with the following units: Horizontal: 8-pixel units Vertical: 4-scan line units Note Be aware that the frame rate increases for vertical cut-outs, while the frame rate remains unchanged for horizontal cut-outs. Binning Mode This mode increases sensitivity and frame rate by combining vertically adjacent pixel data from the CCD. Note Binning mode approximately doubles sensitivity by combining vertical signals on alternate pairs of adjacent lines. However, because the frame rate is also doubled, available exposure time is consequently halved. Setting a shorter exposure time enhances the effect, and sensitivity is further increased. Consider the effect on exposure time when using the Binning mode. 15

16 Functions Frame Rate Control The camera provides the following two methods for frame rate control during internal continuous drive operation. Auto Frame Rate setting The fastest frame rate is configured automatically based on the current shutter setting and binning/partial scan setting. This is the default frame rate control setting for the camera. To increase the frame rate, enable the binning mode or partial scan function. Depending on whether the exposure time is longer than the frame period, the frame rate will be reduced proportionally. Therefore, shorten the shutter time as necessary. Frame Rate setting Configure the frame rate manually. However, you cannot increase the frame rate beyond the fastest setting. In addition, if the exposure time is longer than the configured frame period, the frame rate will be reduced in proportion to the exposure time. When you want to minimize network traffic, use this setting to lower the frame rate while maintaining the same shutter setting. Memory Channels and User Memories Memory channels Sixteen memory channels are provided for camera parameters that can be switched at each frame when using bulk and sequential trigger modes. The memory channels can also be used to store user settings when the special trigger mode is set to Normal, to be applied when switching the camera state for particular situations. User Memories Each memory channel provides 64 bytes of non-volatile read-write storage for users to store data freely. Stored data is preserved even when the power is turned off. Network Functions The camera provides the following network functions. The camera has a frame rate display function for verifying the frame rate obtained using the above settings. By using this function to confirm that an anticipated frame rate has been obtained, you can verify frame correspondence with hardware triggering. For width-mode hardware triggering, set the hardware trigger period to the displayed frame rate, and set the hardware trigger width to the displayed internal shutter value. For edge-mode hardware triggering, set only the trigger period to the displayed frame rate. Image Acquisition Modes The following three image acquisition modes are available: Continuous image output Output a user-specified number of frames (from 1 to 255) Single frame output Payload Size Acquires the data size of a single frame. The value depends on the pixel format, as follows: Mono8: pixels * lines Mono10 Packed and Mono12 Packed: pixels * lines * 1.5 Packet Size Specifies the packet size of image data, in bytes. Use to reduce the MTU of the network used. Inter Packet Delay Specifies a delay to be inserted between packets, in units of one tick (approximately 12 ns) of the Timestamp Tick Frequency. This setting can be used as a simple flow control device for applications that cannot otherwise handle camera packets. Setting range: 12 to 1,023 DHCP Enable Enable this when the camera s IP address is to be obtained from a DHCP server. Enable: Obtain the IP address from a DHCP server. Disable: Do not obtain the IP address from a DHCP server. 16

17 Persistent IP Enable Enable this when the camera uses a static IP address. Enable: Use a static IP address. (When this is enabled, DHCP Enable is disabled.) Disable: Do not use a static IP address. Persistent IP Address Specifies the camera s static IP address. Persistent IP Subnet Mask Specifies the camera s subnet when using a static IP address. Heartbeat Mode Enable or disable the Heartbeat mode. Enable: When the heartbeat is enabled and interrupted, video image transfer is stopped and the network is initialized. Disable: Heartbeat is ignored. Streaming Only: When the heartbeat is enabled and interrupted, video image transfer is stopped. Notes If the Payload Size is set to a value smaller than the Packet Size, images will not be output from the camera. This is not a malfunction. Before changing the Payload Size or Packet Size, stop image output from the camera. Changing either parameter without first stopping image output will result in lost of synchronization between the camera and the host, making normal image display impossible. When using a static IP address, it is recommended that the IP addresses on both the camera and the host device satisfy the following conditions. IP Address: A.B (1 A 255, 1 B 254) Further, be sure to set different IP addresses on the camera and the host device. Subnet Mask: Saving an IP address other than as recommended above may prevent the camera from connecting normally when it is turned back on. Functions Heartbeat Timeout Specifies the time allowed to reach heartbeat. Setting range: 500 to 10,000 ms Timestamp Tick Frequency Indicates the number of timestamp ticks per second. The value is fixed at 83,333,333 ticks. This value is also the same as the timestamp frequency. Control Channel Privilege This mode specifies the control method. 0: Ungoverned control (No control commands are accepted from any application.) 1: Exclusive access (One application has total control, and other applications cannot even read registers.) 2: Control access (One application has control, and other applications can only read registers.) 17
